Description:
------------
Cyrus' timsieved daemon supports encrypted connections, but only via the START TLS mechanism as far as I can see.
There are situations where only PLAIN and/or LOGIN authentication mechanisms can be used, and those require an encrypted transport layer in order to be protected. timsieved supports START TLS. Other mechanisms like DIGEST-MD5 do not need this to protect the password on the wire.
So, currently there is no way to protect the password when PLAIN/LOGIN has to be used. Not even stunnel helps, because timsieved only supports START TLS which has to be initiated after the clear text connection was established.

- Fixes a regex bug that prevented STARTTLS from being correctly detected during CAPABILITY.
- Adds STARTTLS support. Just connect normally unencrypted and STARTTLS will be detected and automatically enabled. It requires PHP 5.1, but should fail gracefully if you have a lower version installed.
